	What's the name of this song? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Right, so I heard a song earlier today on the classical music station, but I missed the announcement of what the song was called. Anyway, it had some horns and drums and violins and stuff, and the main theme went something like this...

code:

Dunn  Dun  Dun  Dunn  Da  Dunn
  A    A#   B    A#   A    A

Dunn  Dunn  Da  Da  Dunn
  A    G    E   G    A

Dunn  Dun  Dun  Dunn  Da  Dunn
  A    A#   B    A#   A    A

Dunn  Da  Da  Da  Da  Da  Dunn
  A   C   A   C   F   vD   A

Had to edit out the hyperlink, since they won't let me link to the MIDI file.

You can find a MIDI version here under Dvorak:

FYI, Dvorak used to live two blocks from my current apartment. There's a plaque on 17th marking his old building.

This thread ably demonstrates why no one should ever question my authority when it comes to classical music. Ever.

Screw that, I'm amazed that anybody was able to hazard a guess -- I pretty much figured this for a lost cause. ("Hey, what's the name of the song that goes Dun-Dun-Dun? Maybe it's got some A's in there, or some B's, whatever.")

I just played the notes as you described on my keyboard. The tune wasn't quite right, but close enough that I could recognize it. Your rythmic notation and breaking it up line-by-line into the proper phrases helped a great deal.

BTW, the actual sequence is in E minor as thus:

code:

Dunn  Dun  Dun  Dun*  Da  Dunn
  E    F#   G    F#   E    E

Dunn  Dunn  Da  Da  Dunn*
  E    D    B    D    E

Dun Dunn  Dun  Dun  Dun*  Da  Dunn
  E    E    F#   G    F#   E    E

Dun  Di-Di-Di  Dun  Dun Dunn*
  E   G-E-G    B8    B   E

Ah, woot. Recognizing notes has always been my weakest point. (The only note I can recognize without anything to go off of is the 'D' below the bass cleff, since that note was "my job" in undergrad choir. I've got to extrapolate from there, which is difficult to do when most notes are a few octaves higher.)

Well, you got it pretty close. Reminds me of my college years when people would come up to me and say, "what's that one tune that goes..." and start humming, or "what's the opera where the girl's the whore..." and the like.

This could be a new version of a game thread- stump Boris!

Are you any relation to the guy who could tell what the classical album was just by looking at the grooves on the record?

	14-07-2003 19:29									#20
	Suffering from ads?

Grooves? Records? Was ist das?

I'm sure someone could come up with relatively obscure classical selections I wouldn't recognize, especially stuff from Hadyn, Handel and the like. Dvorak's 9th is a popular warhorse, though, so the tune was easy to recognize.

I could have added "Scoop of chocolate, scoop of vanilla, don't waste my time," but why be cocky?

I tried to find one I liked by telling someone (who claimed to be knowledgeable on classical music):
'Its the tune in the original Rollerball film, when the two teams come out'

Rather than just tell me he didn't know, the snob told me it was Beethoven!

when I used to have a managable playlist ~1000 songs, I used to play this game with my friend.

he'd pick a random song and play it for 3 seconds, and I'd have to guess it..... I could usually get 75% right but now as my playlist approaches 2200 its become significantly harder

Good taste. I have it as music for when I play Civ3.

If anyone else has mysterious classical tunes they need help with, give it a shot! Of course, without loinburger's notation, it could be tough...
